Israeli forces have reportedly arrested six Palestinian men, among them four teachers.

The Palestinians were detained in the village of Hurah on Monday after Shin Bet, Israel's domestic spy agency, accused them of holding secret meetings and disseminating ISIL ideology among relatives, close friends as well as acquaintances, Arabic-language Ma’an news agency reported.

This as Israel has itself been accused of helping the Takfiri militants fighting in Syria. According to the documents from Israeli hospitals, until last September, Israel’s military had paid USD 10 million from its budget for the treatment of the terrorists injured during clashes with Syrian government forces.

The documents further revealed that a total of 398 injured militants had also been treated at Galil Hospital in Israel’s northern coastal city of Nahariya in the past couple of years. Another hospital in the city of Safed had provided treatment for hundreds of other Takfiri terrorists.

Israeli forces have detained 550 Palestinians, including women and children, in the occupied West Bank since the beginning of the current year.

The detainees, who were arrested in the southern city of al-Khalil (Hebron), included seven women and 105 teenagers, Amjad Najjar, the head of the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) in al-Khalil, said on July 2.

The Palestinian official added that 225 of the detainees received sentences through the Israeli practice of the so-called administrative detention, under which Palestinians are kept behind bars without charge or trial for months or even years.

According to Najjar, 78 Palestinian patients “who faced a real life threat as a result of detention” were among the inmates in Israeli jails, where they receive no “medical treatment.”

He noted that Israeli forces treat the Palestinian detainees in a “savage and inhuman way during detention.”
